Partagas Black Label Piramide

First thing, the wrapper on this cigar is a deep cocoa color so you know it's going to be a big, full-bodied smoke...and it is. Beautifully wrapped, it draws well and burns great. It has loads of pepper and spice and a lingering finish. Try this with a big Islay single malt, or a single barrel bourbon, relax on your back porch and contemplate the world. $9.99

Bauza Pyramid What can I say about this cigar, other than it's been my regular smoke for the last four years. It has a mild to medium body, burns great with a slightly spicy finish. Bauza is a very underrated producer which in some ways is a good thing because the price has been the same even with a 92 point rating in the Cigar Aficionado in 1999. $6.99 for this beauty and it's worth every penny.
